The Virginia Supreme Court on Tuesday denied a request from the Democrat Attorney General to pause a lower court order blocking the gerrymander referendum.
Last week, the Tazewell Circuit Court ruled the Democrats’ redistricting referendum unconstitutional.
The judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the narrow “Yes” victory and denied Democrats’ request for a stay pending appeal.
The development was announced on last Wednesday afternoon by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II, who is leading the Election Transparency Initiative.
